The Top 10 creepiest fast food mascots

I don't eat much fast food anymore. Maybe it's because I read Fast Food Nation a few years back and that scared me off the chalupas and whoppers. Or it could be because the doctor told me to watch my fat intake and ease off the fried foods.

When I really think about it though, those excuses are kinda lame. I think that the real reason I don't eat fast food is because fast food restaurants are doing their damndest to scare us away from their restaurants. I mean look at the weirdos they have peddling their food. Scary clowns? Creepy old men? Purple blobs? The fast food companies been subjecting us to these creeps for years, but recently the situation has become unbearable.

So without further ado, I present to you my list of the 10 creepiest fast food mascots [note: I'm limiting the list to characters peddling goods for fast food outlets - I realize that the Kool Aid Man and Count Chocula are also disturbing, but that's for another list]:

I'm not surprised about 1st place. That one is creepy. They even made video games with him.

I like the Jack commercials, but the King creeps me out totally. The original Ronald McDonald was pretty funny- whipped up in about 5 minutes, but funny. At least they referenced him in the commercial- now the characters are just their own thing, and the commercials ignore them.

I haven't actually seen a lot of those mascots but I can see how they'd be creepy.

I don't think any of them creep me out. I would say the King has me going "WTF" more than any of them, well except Ronald. But I LOVE Jack in the Box...love him! I love his commercials and he is funny.

I can't believe BK insists upon continued use of that
to promote their food. I get nacious at the very thought
of eating at BK, for fear that I'll have nightmares of that
"Thing King" next to me in bed when I wake up.

Food icons shouldn't make you sick to your stomach,
THAT is not the way you want to get your attention
or keep it, when you are advertising something that
you want people to swallow.

Critter Country's a mess ev'r since the Country Bears were kicked out. Ya can't cover pooh with honey and 'spect people ta like it.

Worst ones that I have personly seen are the Quizno rats/hamster things...

I don't know if Quiznos is any good or not, I'll never find out, those ads have made me permently avoid them....all I think of when I see a Quiznos sign is cooked rodent...Ewwww

but the one that I had never seen before was the old school Ronald Mc D.

that guy is creepy, but there "fixed" version, the one running thru the parking lot, I just kept thinking of Stephen Kings it, just waiting for the clown to run to the screen and talk to me..."they float, everything floats down here"...

Yuck....

and yet, I have a strong desire to go read IT again...I know the book is around here somewhere.....
